The Springer Nature Grand Challenges program works with partners inside and outside Springer Nature to co-organize events, Our central goal is to connect academic experts with practitioners to discuss, develop and advance evidence-based solutions to pressing societal problems.

These events can be small or large, from a public panel discussion to a high-level salon or workshop, up to a multi-day conference. In all of these events, we aim to bridge the gap between researchers and real-world problems—to help researchers learn where to focus their work to advance solutions that solve societal problems, and to help decision makers tap the best academic expertise possible.

We're open to ideas for new events from individuals and organizations. To suggest one, contact either of us:

The world is facing complex and interconnected issues like sustainability, resource scarcity, global health, and inequality. These “grand challenges” affect society at both the global and the local level. In order to solve these, researchers must collaborate across disciplinary boundaries, and connect with policymakers and practitioners.
As a global publisher with content across all subject disciplines, Springer Nature can help. We understand how crucial these challenges are, and have created this space to bring together our content and resources to address these issues. We want to help to connect the best research evidence with those at the cutting edge of implementation, with the ultimate aim of advancing the discovery and development of solutions to grand challenges.
